Birds, Bugs and Wildflowers:organic Integrated Pest Management for the home ...Richard Gardner
This past year we transformed our yard into a place for birds, pollinators and an organic garden. The purpose of this transformation was twofold:
1.) to provide pollinator and bird habitat
2.) to increase the yield in our garden by attracting pollinators to the vegetables and native predators of herbivorous insects to the garden.
To do this we planted several wildflower beds, placed birdhouses throughout our yard, our woodlot and the pasture next to it and avoided non-organic pesticides, fertilizers and other garden chemicals.
This presentation is a photo essay of the past year.

4. What Are High Tunnels?
High tunnels, also known as hoop houses, are relatively
simple polyethylene-covered unheated structures that
typically do not use fans for ventilation. They can be
covered with one or two sheets of plastic; those covered
with two have an air layer in between, thus offering better
insulation, and consequently, more cold protection.
5. High Tunnel
Season extension techniques, such as high tunnels, can
allow producers to extend the time period over which cash
flows are generated from produce crops. High tunnel
production of leafy greens and herbs can also enable
producers to market products at higher prices, before the
start of a traditional local season. High tunnel leafy greens
and herbs are typically added by producers already selling
through direct market channels; especially farmers
markets, CSAs (community supported agriculture), local
restaurants, and groceries.
6. High Tunnel
High tunnels can provide the protective environment necessary
for growing greens throughout the winter months. Tunnels do
not have a permanent heating system, but instead are
passively solar-heated. Nighttime low temperatures within a
structure covered with two layers of plastic (with an insulating
layer of air in between) generally average about 7º F to 8º F
warmer than outside temperatures. Structures covered with
just a single layer of plastic often realize only a 3º F increase
in nighttime lows. Row covers used in conjunction with the
high tunnel will provide further cold and frost protection.
Because row covers also block sunlight, they should not be left
on for prolonged periods during the winter. Placing the row
covers over hoops will help to keep tender leaves from
freezing to the fabric. As an alternative, a portable heater can
be used when unexpected drops in temperature occur.
7. High Tunnel
However, due to rising energy costs, the use of heaters should
generally be limited to short durations. Often these extra
precautions against cold are not necessary as many greens will
recover from an overnight freeze and continue to grow with
warming temperatures the following day. Opening the sidewalls is
imperative for good air circulation and temperature control,
even in winter. During sunny days, temperatures in the tunnels
can be 30º F to 40º F higher than outside temperatures,
necessitating that the tunnels be adequately vented. Lacking the
automated ventilation system of more elaborate greenhouses,
high tunnels are ventilated by manually rolling up the sidewalls
in the morning and closing them at night. Orienting the houses
perpendicular to the prevailing wind on the farm will help
facilitate air movement
8. 1.Basil – Ocimum basilicum
